Walton council asks Boone County to relax food-truck zoning rules
Summary
The Walton Common Council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-09 on July 8, asking the Boone County Planning Commission to draft a zoning text amendment to allow food trucks to operate for longer periods and more frequently while retaining health and occupational licensing requirements.
The Walton Common Council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-09 at its July 8 meeting, asking the Boone County Planning Commission to prepare a zoning text amendment to Section 35.04 of the Walton zoning regulations to allow food trucks to operate for longer time periods and more frequently.
Council member Matt Brown moved to approve the resolution; Council member Amy Long seconded. The roll-call vote recorded 'yes' from Dan Martin, Caleb Flege, Amy Long, Sherry Gaskill, Rose Beach and Matt Brown.
The resolution directs the Boone County Planning Commission to prepare the text amendment, hold a public hearing, and make a recommendation. The text of the resolution preserves a requirement that food-service operators remain licensed by the applicable health department and hold any required occupational licenses.
The council’s action was procedural: the city is formally requesting county-level zoning changes rather than changing Walton’s ordinance directly. The next step is for the Boone County Planning Commission to consider the request, draft any proposed text changes and schedule the required public hearing(s).
